I usually still have a cheap case any time I buy a new device. If I'm considering buying a device, like seriously considering it, I just go on ahead and order the cover off DealExtreme well beforehand. The dollar or two gives me time to shop around for an actual good case. They may suck in terms of look and feel, but those silicone cases do a fine job of protecting in the meantime.

Ehhh, $35 is a little pricey for my taste. I'm slowly learning to appreciate pricier cases though, in the past I used to slap on whatever two dollar item DX had, but I finally see the value in trying some of the $15-$20 range.

Heh, I know what you mean. Even if it isn't for piracy, I like to have my devices hacked or unlocked or customized just to say I can. That said, how is the NEO N64 Myth Cart? I was very interested in purchasing one before my N64 controllers went all wonky on me. They are cheap to replace though.

I think it's the fear to innovate. If you look at the recent games (I'll be honest, I've never been an SE fan to begin with), they aren't that BAD, they are just getting stale. It's not easy for a game company to just whip up something new, and there is considerable risk in doing so. Of course that's no excuse, but as long as people keep buying their stuff, I'm sure their execs see no need to pull a Nintendo Wii out of thin air.

there isn't a firmware/kernel download on their website, so I doubt it's released yet
but yeah, they are late, they said it will be release the second week of january, it's now the third week of january

I just received an email from TC this morning, so hopefully I will be able to post a review soon
I made a mistake and I prematurely judge the situation out of frustration.
Although some of my questions was not answered, I'm happy TC will still come through.
So thanks TC if you're reading this

Naw it's more along the lines of them not replying rather than the sample. It's really frustrating when it happens. That being said, I wouldn't worry too much about the samples, TC was relatively generous when it came to handing out their carts for the CycloDS Evolution.

I don't want to sound too pro-Cyclo again, but keep in mind Another World represents GBAtemp more or less. I have been in sort of similar positions before, where a GBAtemp reviewer gets answers while I don't even get a reply. But it doesn't happen often, that's for sure. That being said, when the AceKard RPG and AceKard 2 was released, the AceKard team was phenomenally helpful -.- Much more so than M3 or Supercard at the time.

it is wasted money, I spent almost $50 on research based on a team's failed promised
as for the questions, it's similar to those asked by another world.

and from my time with TC and the cycloDS, yes they are unreliable.
I call it how I see it, and how I see it is based on my experience with them
a $12 acekard has better compatibility than the $45 cycloDS, this = wasted money
